Enjoying the Sun

One thing about the city that has taken some adjusting to is the lack of sun. While we are thankful that we aren't complaining about extreme heat, I must admit that only seeing blue sky a few times a week is taking its toll on me. Luckily, throughout the past week there have been numerous warm days, so I have taken full advantage of them.

On Saturday we were invited to a pool party in Sonoma hosted by Russell's boss. The location was a home that the firm actually designed, so it was very inspiring to see it in person. Getting out of the city and driving on country roads was a plus as well :) It was my first time crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, so I had to document it.

When I saw blue sky out of our living room window on Monday I literally screamed. It was a matter of seconds before I headed out the door with my kindle and a blanket. Sharon meadows is a great place for reading peacefully and it is only a two minute walk from our door.

I met with three Elementary School principals on Tuesday for interviews for paraprofessional positions. In between my muni transfers I got to pass some time in the rose garden and was even asked directions by a sweet French couple. I am starting to feel like a real San Franciscan. Sutro Tower is the only landmark that tells me which direction I am walking and on most days it is just poking out of the fog. Russell works almost at the base, so I always smile when I see it.

A little more wisdom we have gained:

-sometimes you need an umbrella for foggy morning commutes 

Examples of God's Grace:

-Getting three interviews within ten minutes

-Smiling at fellow muni riders and getting smiles back

-Accepting a job offer and selling my car all in one day
